Re: I Like Being a Short Man

I’m a 57 year-old man of 5’5”, and I like being a short man. I’m more comfortable in airplanes than tall people, I can weave through crowds easily, and I can surprise people by being a polite person. I’m educated, have a good job, and I got the girl.

It’s true that being a short man has disadvantages, but so is being black or Hispanic. A black man who dwells on his disadvantages in life, which are very real, will never get ahead in life. Successful black men know this. Likewise, it’s a terrible idea to dwell on the disadvantages of being a short man. The best revenge is living well, so study short, successful men to learn how to succeed.

My question to my fellow short men is if they have the other attributes women find appealing in a man. You can easily find these on the Web. Do you have confidence? No one is his/her right mind wants to be with a partner who doesn’t have confidence. I find a women with confidence to be much more attractive than a woman who lacks it.

Are you educated in a field that pays well? If not, get yourself to college. Remember that people with much less intelligence than you are getting college degrees – seriously. Look up online to see which jobs pay well. Avoid majoring in history, philosophy, the arts, or anything else that doesn’t lead to a good job. A woman wants to be married to a good provider. If you don’t understand and accept this, height isn’t your problem.

How about the way you dress? I’ve seen videos of American men trying to get brides in Russia. No wonder they have to go overseas to find a wife – they don’t know how to dress. The way you dress reflects on the woman.

My bottom line is that we need to make sure factors other than height aren’t tripping us.

Im 5 5 as well and am 48 and I really appreciate your post. I am a successful professional, was married for 19 years, got divorced and now am serious w a 34 year old beauty. I must admit though that I am still very self conscious about my height and how people view me for being short, both men and woman. Its easy to say "I dont care what other people think. But being aware that there is a general perception toward short men as being negative is hard to ignore and sometimes it makes me feel self conscious and insecure. The idea that we must just accept it and be happy regardless of this perception and the insults that accompany it, encourages the blatant heightism seen in society. Im a confident strong minded man but that doesnt mean I should be ok with insults meant to degrade me.

Hello short guys.

Im 48 years old and am 5' 5". I have gotten depressed lately about my height after a *bleep* insulted me in front of my girlfriend in a bar saying "is she with you?? No way!!" And laughing to his friends. He was like 6' 5" and it was obviously an insult about my height. I just calmy said "yes she is" and walked by but it through me off that night and all night I was insecure about my height and what people were thinking. It really is a helpless feeling. I started feeling insecure with my girlfriend but played it off. I started comparing my height to all others, men and woman, and found most men towered over me, and most woman were taller as well in heels. I literally felt like I was standing in a hole and everyone was looking down on me (figuratively and literally). Its been three days and I cant shake this feeling.

Anyone else feel like this and how can I learn to get over feeling insecure about my height?

Thanks for any thoughts.
